THE SNACK THIEF by ANDREA CAMILLERI
|
SummaryNever has Inspector Montalbano's signature mix of humor,
cynicism, compassion, earthiness, and love of good food
been more compelling than in The Snack Thief. When an elderly man is stabbed to death in an elevator and
a crewman on an Italian fishing trawler is machine-gunned
by a Tunisian patrol boat off Sicily's coast, only
Montalbano, with his keen insight into human nature,
suspects the link between the two incidents. His
investigation leads to the beautiful Karima, an
impoverished housecleaner and sometime prostitute, whose
young son is caught stealing other schoolchildren's
midmorning snacks. But when Karima disappears, the young
snack thief's life-as well as his own-is endangered when
Montalbano exposes a viper's nest of government and
international intrigue.
